Love Me As I Am

34

"Any luck?" Ura sounded hopeful as she opened the door for Katsuki to come inside.

The blonde grew even more sad as he walked inside. It has been two days of him searching that town and had yet to come across anything that would hint to the omega being there. "We have to find him soon." Ura worried, "His heat will be here any day."

"I'll go out and look more later. I just need to get some sleep first." A yawn escaped him.

"I'll look while you rest." Kyo came walking in and grabbing a jacket from the hanger on the door.

Katsuki just nodded and made his way to the omega's room. Sense Eijiro has been missing Katsuki couldn't help himself from sleeping anywhere that wasn't here. The mountains of shark plushes and the empty nest were the closest he could have to him for the time being.

He walked in to find it the exact same as what it was when he left. The bed was made perfectly, like Eijiro left it, and the blanket he got from Ura stuck out of the nest. That was the place that smelled the most of the omega, and Katsuki found himself sleeping there more than the bed. It was more uncomfortable being on the floor than what it would on the mattress, but he personally didn't care.

Katsuki set his bag on the floor outside of the nest before digging into it. He pulled out some sweats and his skull shirt along with some boxers and headed towards the shower. He needed to wash the grime of work off him before he climbed himself into the nest to rest.

He knew an omega's nest was a sanctuary for one in heat, but it was the place that smelled the most of the red head. Katsuki seeked out any smell he could of the other, worried he would forget it if he didn't. He stripped of his clothes after turning the shower on before climbing into the burning water.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Later that day, Katsuki could be found at that same market looking for the red head again. He walked up all the isles, but so far, there were no signs, at least until he found himself in the pharmacy side of the store. The smell of the red head wafted through the air. It was faint but could still be smelled. Katsuki perked at this. The first sign in almost two weeks that the omega still lived. Katsuki chased the scent, but disappointment settled in when he didn't see who he looked for.

Instead, there stood a blonde haired man with blue dyed into the tips. He wore black jeans with chains, seeming to lop everywhere around him and a black pullover. He had two piercings on his right eyebrow and a septum ring, all jewelry matched with black rings. Katsuki took note of it being Rin as he remembered Denki's description of the man.

Katsuki noticed he was looking at heat reducers, and Katsuki's hands formed into fists at his sides. The medication was meant to delay heat. He knew it was for Eijiro. He had to get closer to him to try and try to figure out where his omega was, so he did the logical thing. Joined him at looking at the medication.

"Trying to delay a heat also?" Rin asked casually as Katsuki picked up a random box.

"Nah," It took everything not to scoff at the man, "Trying to find something that makes a heat go smoother."

"Get too rough for you, big boy?" Rin joked as if Katsuki was the omega.

"Nah, my mate," Katsuki forced a small laugh, "His gets intense to where it can last longer than normal. Why heat reducers?"

"My cousin is in town," The lie fell from his lips like it was natural for him, "He wants to delay it until he can get back home."

"Sounds like a smart decision." Katsuki could definitely now say the smell belongs to his lover as he stood closer to the other alpha. "I've got stronger ones than these if you need some. Doctor prescribed." Katsuki offered.

"You do?" Rin perked up at the news, "Dude it would be a life saver for him."

"I got them out in my car. We can walk out, and I can give you one or two." Katsuki had to get him buttered up so he could find out where the omega is being held, "Just gotta pay for these first." Katsuki picked up the box of supplements. He had to make his lie seem like truth.

Katsuki and Rin walked to a register where Katsuki paid for the pills he did not need, and the two made their way outside. "Fuck it's March," Rin gritted his teeth, "Why is it still so damn cold?"

"Unfortunately weather can be like that." Katsuki comments.

"And my stupid car just had to break down on me!" Rin gritted.

"Do you need a ride somewhere?" Katsuki asked.

"If you wouldn't mind," Rin perked up, "My apartment is having some work done on it, so I'm in a motel right now."

"Yea, I don't mind. Get in." Katsuki unlocked his car, and both men jumped in.

"Nice car." Rin looked around the inside. Black leather seats with silver stitching. Blacked out radio and windows tinted.

"Thanks," Katsuki dug through the center console, "Here are those pills." Katsuki kept a bottle of the heat reducers in his car that a family doctor gave him for when Eijiro went into heat in a public area. He would give the omega just enough to delay it with enough time to get him back home. It wasn't heavy enough a dose to delay it longer.

Katsuki handed him the orange bottle that had Katsuki's name on it. "You have no idea how much this helps." Rin praised.

"So where to?" Katsuki asked.

"That motel over there." Rin pointed to the run-down motel he checked the day before.

"Sure." Katsuki gritted his teeth at the thought he could have put an end to this the day before. He started the car before leaving the parking lot, hopeful to save his omega.
